Hello all, went for a drive today. Recently bought 4 new general grabber ATX tires. Replaced my fan clutch with a nos Ford one I found online and replaced my fan blade with a good one from my friend's jy. Took out my seats to redo the cushion on the driver's side bottom.. vacuum under the seats also. Getting caught up on some things with my ranger.

Planning a road trip to Shasta county for some life changes. Will be going to see the redwoods again when I go.

You've been working hard, man. And blessings on that Shasta trip!

My credo
If it's not broken Don't Fix It!
Brought it down to get an oil change and have the brakes blead. Had a bunch of air in the right rear that I wasn't able to get out by myself. I usually do the oil myself but its to darn cold to be crawling on the ground. Trans is leaking worse than I thought it took about 2 quarts to top it off so I need to stay on top of that a bit more.

Looked at mine, pulled some stuff out of the green one that doesn’t need to be in it. Checked and topped fluids in my F-150.

Just the right size to touch the ground.
Made sure it was still rotting away in the side yard. I really need to get back to it. Just don't have the time.

I asked my brother if he wanted to work on it. He said “maybe tomorrow.”

I started cleaning the garage, but after I put all the half-full bottles of motor oil in a 5-quart jug I realized I had enough for an oil change and ended up changing the oil in the Ranger instead.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

"Productive sidetracking". I like it.

Stretching the topic a bit but some equipment from the 2011 was used in the process.

Anyway, a buddy and I cleaned up a snapped off branch from the freezing rain we had about a week ago.

Nothing got damaged in the shed but the shed roof is going to need some repair work once the weather is more friendly for disassembling part of the roof and repairing the structure.
